What is MCT oil?
Medium Chain Triglyceride Chain oils are fat molecules that come from coconut and palm kernel oils. They are often used as a supplement for fat for those who cannot tolerate other types of fats.
A literary review of the oil in the National Library of Medicine journal found it to be a good energy source because it can be quickly metabolized by the body.
While some research on the impacts of MCT oil on cannabis products has been done, the National Institute of Health has recommended more studies of its effects.
